Where can i purchase these GF items please?

[paulb44]

Is cornflour o.k in ingredients, also what about yeast extract? I also would like to buy tortilla wraps for fajitas, soy sauce and medium egg noodles for stir fry. I live in West London and would preferably like to purchase these items from a store rather than online.

Thanks people.

Cornflour is fine (assuming you're ok with corn) yeast extract is also gluten free.

I'm not from London, but Tesco, Sainsbury's etc all sell gluten free soy sauce. Egg noodles are made with wheat. The closest thing you will get is rice noodles, which most supermarkets also sell, and the only place to buy decent wraps is online.

asda do quite a good range of gluten free, tesco is good...its a case of reading the labels.........i've found loads of stuff i can have, by just taking me time and reading the labels on stuff.........even got them at asda to make me a pizza.. gluten free......

Whole Food Store (old Barkers) on High Street Ken is fantastic for GF foods, or Sainsbury Ladbroke Grove.

Cornflour is fine for coeliacs. Soy sauce - get Tamari sauce in Sainsbury, you can't get Egg noodles (that I've ever found anyway) but you can get some great ones in the Whole Food Store; pumpkin noodles, buckwheat noodles, black rice noodles - all do the same job. I don't eat Tortilla wraps anymore, but a few years back you could get a Discovery Gluten Free kit - not sure if this is still available, worth a Google.

the Asda tortilla wraps are, in my, opinion too small to wrap anything and too rubbery to enjoy they do not taste particularly nice either! I have made some from the coeliac website recipe but; although they were nice, the recipe makes 8 good sized wraps and I had to throw away 6 as I had no use for them ( one of my peeves is that a lot of recipes generate more items than I can eat so I am wasting a lot of expensive flour, and although the items are " o.k" my family do not want to eat GF stuff which is not the same as the non GF equivalent.

We have a nice big freezer now, so any extra goes in there (and btw bread freezes beautifully), but before we did, I usually would scale down a recipe to make the appropriate amount of food. So that tortilla recipe could presumably be cut in half. I'd be gutted if my homemade food ended up in the bin.

the problem I find is that the recipes quite often use -1 egg - so scaling down from an 8 portion recipe to a 2 portion is "difficult" to say the least! I think a lot of us here would agree that we do not eat a lot of GF foods as they really are unpleasant ,,,I have an issue with scones which I used to adore but have never found a good GF substitute, and I think I have tried them all

The discovery gluten free kit is no longer available. They no longer do it because of the genetically modified cornflour. I did say that we eat so many chemicals in our food that most of us probably wouldn't mind but apparently the company do.......

As a substitute for egg noodles - if you can't buy the Whole Food quirky flavour ones - you could try the Juvela Tagliatelle. They are flat and thin and made from eggs and are the nearest substitue we've found.
